The Barrow - Quartier des Marolles, Brussels

James McNeill Whistler

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a sketchy drawing of a scene with a cart in front of a doorway. The drawing is in black and white and appears to be on aged paper. The cart is on the left side of the image and has one wheel visible. It appears to have a flat surface with items on top. Behind the cart is a large doorway with a dark interior. To the right of the doorway, there is another smaller opening. A figure stands in the smaller opening and two more figures are drawn to the right. The figure in the smaller opening appears to be wearing a dress. The two figures to the right appear to be children. The background of the image shows a building with a light-colored wall.
